2．When Emanuel received an email from Professor Richard English，Queen's Pro-Vice-Chancellor at the School of History，Anthropology，Philosophy and Politics，encouraging him to apply for a PhD in Politics in Belfast，it was a pinch-me moment Emanual never thought would be possible.After all，just a few short years ago，he was living on the streets couch-surfing at friends' houses and weeding gardens to make ends meet.Now，one of the world's leading political academics was preparing to welcome him to Queen's University over 4，000 miles away.
Emanuel never knew who his father was and his mom was mentally ill when she gave birth to him，so the hospital took him off her and he was unofficially adopted for the first few years of his life.What followed was a childhood with uncertainty as Emanuel was passed between the adoption system and family members.
Through his high school and community college years，he moved from house to house，living with friends at times and living on the streets at others.
Determined to change all that despite his rocky start in life，Emanuel involved himself in school-doing everything he could to earn extra tuition（學(xué)費(fèi)）money in his spare time.But getting accepted into university was scarcely possible because a person like him couldn't get a regular student loan.
Fortunately，the government backed him，having created a policy allowing disadvantaged persons to access funding for higher education.He graduated from the University of the West Indies with a 1st Class Honors degree and went on to do his Masters.
Emanuel knows that his story could have been very different.
"I discovered Professor Richard English online and sent him an email honestly，not thinking he would reply and to my surprise，he did.I applied for the highly competitive Commonwealth Shared Scholarship Scheme in order to fund my research at Queen's.When I was told I was successful，my whole world changed."
（1）What does the underlined word "pinch-me" in Paragraph 1 probably mean？
A．Expected.
B．Anxious.
C．Awkward.
D．Unbelievable.
（2）What happened to Emanuel in his childhood？
A．He was once adopted by his relatives.
B．He was abandoned by his mother.
C．His father was mentally ill.
D．He lived with his friends now and then.
（3）How did Emanuel afford his university education？
A．By receiving a regular student loan.
B．By getting support from the government.
C．By borrowing the money from friends.
D．By earning the tuition all by himself.
（4）What can we learn from Emanuel's story？
A．You are the master of your life.
B．It's never too old to learn.
C．Well begun is half done.
D．Lost time is never found again.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.7 -
3．Parents around the world often urge children over and over-wash your hands!It can be difficult，however，to get children to remember to wash.But what if washing hands was connected to a fun creative activity？What if instead of simply reaching for the soap，a machine could drop it right into your hands？
Well，such a machine was recently built by a boy and his sister in the U.S.jye.ai of Maryland as part of a creative competition.The not-for-profit Rube Goldberg Organization is holding the competition.
Every year，the Rube Goldberg competition assigns a specific task，considering inventions that use complex systems to carry out a simple everyday task.At first，the task for 2020 was supposed to be "turn on a light." But when the COVID-19 happened，the task was changed to "drop a bar of soap into someone's hand."
Those taking part in the competition are schoolchildren.But with schools closed to slow the spread of the virus，organizers changed the rules.This year，the team can include any family members and people were asked to send in recordings of the machines to compete.One thing has not changed：The machine must complete the task in less than 10 steps.
In Maryland，the Diel family wanted to enter.So，Caitlin and her brother Ben designed and built their own Rube Goldberg machine.Next，they had to demonstrate that it could complete the task-throwing the soap just right to be caught in someone's hand.After 106 failed attempts，they finally had success.With their video demonstration，they can now enter the competition.
Dr.Anne Glowinski teaches child psychiatry（精神病學(xué)）at Washington University School of Medicine in St.Louis.She said that "creativity and play" connects with children.It is better than the message. "We have to wash our hands because of this horrible virus".Glowinski added.
（1）What might be a task of inventions assigned by the Rube Goldberg competition？
A．Sweeping the floor.
B．Exploring nature.
C．Writing a novel.
D．Painting the house.
（2）What change has been made to the rules of the competition this year？
A．All kinds of inventions are admitted.
B．A video of the entry is qualified to enter.
C．Teachers are encouraged to get involved.
D．The task must be finished within 10 steps.
（3）What does Glowinski think of the invention？
A．Practical.
B．Unnecessary.
C．Economical.
D．Complicated.
（4）What's the main idea of the text？
A．The habit of washing hands is very important.
B．It calls on schoolchildren to compete in a contest.
C．More inventions are encouraged from everyday items.
D．It introduces a contest making handwashing fun for kids.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5

"Once there was a ship travelling on the tough sea and on the ship there was a pair of couple.All of a sudden，the ship met with an accident and the couple had no choice but to run to the lifeboat without delay.After reaching there，they realized that there was space only for one person.At that very moment the husband pushed his wife behind him and jumped onto the lifeboat himself，leaving his wife standing on the sinking ship，shouting something desperately to her husband，eyes filled with tears."
The teacher stopped her storytelling and asked her students，"Guys，guess what it was that she shouted."
Most students answered. "I hate you!"
After listening to all this reply，the teacher glanced through the whole class again and noticed that there was a boy sitting silently throughout.Then she asked him the same question.
The boy answered， "I believe she would have shouted --- Take care of our child."
Listening to his remarks，the teacher was surprised and asked the boy doubtfully. "Have you heard of this story before？"
Shaking his head，the boy said softly and sadly，"No，I haven't.But that's what my mother said to my father before she died of a deadly disease."
Moved and feeling sad，the teacher replied. "Your answer is absolutely right!"
Then she continued，"Let's take up the story.The ship sank eventually and the husband went home and brought up their daughter alone.Many years later after the death of the man，their daughter was tidying up all his belongings when she found his diary.In his diary she found that when her parents were on the ship，her mother had already been diagnosed（診斷）with advanced illness and at the critical moment，the father rushed to the only chance of survival."
